7. System initialization: Notes

2006 BMW M5SECTION Notes

In order that the radio transmitters can communicate with the vehicle, each individual radio transmitter must be initialized with the receiver module.

Up to four radio transmitters  can be initialized and used per vehicle.

Since each radio transmitter has its own key code, all existing radio transmitters must be reinitialized when, for example, a new radio transmitter is to be added.
